New Funbag on Vice:

First, Diana, you are sensational and your work is of the utmost importance—especially now that you’ve added bears to your beat. I’ve felt lucky to follow you, even though your work sickens me. (The content and context for WHY you have to do it, not the work itself.)

This still open after the fascists took over?

At 9:41 EDT November 1, I noticed that something moved somewhere...

So long. And thanks for all the fish.

My last comment here today: I just spent 2-1/2 hours scrolling through more than 300 comments and leaving at least a usual week’s worth of stars, recognizing so many of my invisible friends.

Honestly, it was cathartic. I’m still angry and sad, but now with a fuller heart. Farewell, everybody.

DEADSPIN FOREVER

h/t to…

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness was here.

As this blog draws to a close, and the decade ends near, there is a harsh reminder that we are growing older. I read this site throughout my 30s and it really had something for everyone. I thank you for all of your content that made us laugh and cry. My family is growing and the job is getting busier. Not having Deadsp…

All these comments and this thread are almost bringing an unemotional hard case like me to tears.
The writers, the commentariat, the bad puns and the takes, the DUAN posts that dredged up memories of songs I hadn’t listened to in years but still loved, ahhh its all too much.

It was everything the internet can be. Thank you.

It’s been a blast. Diana, I look forward to following your work. Deadspin forever.

I like jalopnik and Kotaku as well and I found out about them through deadspin. But I’ll never go back to either of them.

Oh, Jim Spanfeller, eat shit!

To the entire staff and all most of the alumni since its inception — thanks, good luck, and I selfishly hope that somehow, someway, many of you can work together again very soon so that I can read one or two websites instead of 30.

“what I put on a hot dog (homemade green chile sauce and cheddar)“

That sounds like a delicious sandwich.  

And P.S. to Jim Spanfeller, not only are you losing my Deadspin pageviews (which were numerous, I assure you), but my Kotaku ones, as well as occasional timid ventures out into the badlands of Jalopnik, Gizmodo, and Jezebel. Congrats! Your strategy to boost ad views is working swimmingly!

Sorry, gotta get one long comment in before they shut off the lights:

Not going to lie. It would be a funny joke if you forgot who said it....

Thank you, Diana, for this last bit of joy from this site. Much love to you and all the staff, all the way back to Leitch, for making this place what it was.

Bears like eating plants.
